What kind of company is &above?

&above is an AI consultancy and product development agency based in London. We help scale-ups and enterprises discover where AI creates value, build AI-native products, and scale agent systems across their organisation - working as embedded squads from strategy through to production.

What AI consulting services does &above offer?

Our consulting work centres on the AI Launchpad - a leadership workshop that identifies where AI can create the greatest value - and rapid proofs of concept that validate feasibility and business value before you scale investment. Both are designed to move you from ambition to a prioritised, tested roadmap in weeks.

Does &above build AI products as well as advise on them?

Yes - building is the core of what we do. Our AI Product Squads are embedded cross-functional teams of AI engineers, product managers, designers and strategists who deliver AI-native products, internal platforms, agents and agentic workflows, and enterprise software. See our [digital product agency services](/services/digital-product-agency) for how we take products from idea to production.

How is &above different from a large consultancy?

We ship working products, not slide decks. Clients work directly with senior practitioners in small embedded squads that move at startup speed - Tesco went from four-week ad approval cycles to days, and Google Cloud's agent system supports 5,000 sellers. You get enterprise-grade delivery without enterprise-consultancy overhead.

Which companies has &above worked with?

Recent work includes Google and Google Cloud, Tesco, Sage, Revolut, Oxford Quantum Circuits, Upstix and YourAvatar - spanning AI discovery, product builds, and organisation-wide agent systems.

How quickly can an AI project deliver value?

Discovery is fast by design: an AI Launchpad runs in about four weeks, and proofs of concept validate real-world impact before major investment. Build engagements are iterative, shipping working software from the first sprints.

Where is &above based?

Our HQ is in Southwark, London (The Binary, 27 Copperfield Street, SE1), and we work with clients across the UK and internationally - from scale-ups to global enterprises.

The hardest part of AI isn't building it, it's knowing where to start. Most organisations are overwhelmed by possibility, struggling to separate genuine opportunity from hype. We work with teams to identify where AI can create meaningful value, align stakeholders around the right priorities, and rapidly test ideas before significant investment is made - a full discovery takes about four weeks.

AI Launchpad

A leadership workshop designed to identify where AI can create the greatest value. We align stakeholders, explore opportunity areas, define priorities, and co-create a practical roadmap to move from ambition to execution. You leave with a scoped roadmap, not a slide deck - the next step is your call.

Proof of Concept

A working technical prototype that validates feasibility and proves business value. We integrate sample data, test assumptions, and evaluate real-world impact. You leave with a working prototype and a clear go or no-go on the business case before any larger commitment.

What you leave with

A clear opportunity space
Prioritised use cases
Rapid prototypes
Leadership alignment
A roadmap for delivery

"The Launchpad forced us to move from vague ambition to a concrete plan faster than we thought possible. The team left with clarity and momentum."

The path to AI-native for Google's global partnerships organisation

Google needed to rethink how their global partnerships teams adopt and build new AI capabilities. We ran a rapid AI Launchpad discovery in 4 weeks - mapping the opportunity space, aligning leadership, and validating a prioritised roadmap for a new, centralised system.

BuildCreate products that solve real problems.

The pace of building has changed dramatically, but the need for great products hasn't. We combine strategy, design, and engineering to create AI native products, digital experiences, and intelligent systems that solve real problems and deliver measurable outcomes.

We design for humans and AI agents simultaneously, creating experiences that are intuitive, scalable, and ready for the next generation of interaction. From concept to launch, we work as one team to move faster without compromising quality. And once something is proven, we help you scale it across the organisation.

Forward-deployed engineers

Senior engineers embedded directly in your team - writing code alongside your own engineers, moving at your pace, with none of the handoff overhead of a traditional vendor relationship.

AI Product Squads

Forward-deployed engineers plus product management and design in one embedded team - the same senior engineering, with the product thinking and design craft to decide what to build, not just build what's specified. Engineer-only engagements expand into a full squad once scope proves out.

How we help

AI-native products
Internal platforms
Agents & agentic workflows
Mobile and web applications
Enterprise software

"I would recommend &above to anyone who's got ambitious plans to accelerate their roadmap, or if you are looking to build a product from scratch."

ScaleEmbed an Agent OS for smarter decisions.

The biggest challenge isn't launching AI, it's making it part of how your organisation operates. As businesses move beyond experimentation, success depends on how well knowledge, workflows, and systems connect together. We help organisations scale what works, embed new ways of working and build the foundations for long-term competitive advantage. See how we work as an AI agency for automation, agent development, and AI software builds, or explore our dedicated AI agent development services for custom agentic AI and integration work.

Agent Operating System

A connected ecosystem of AI agents built around your tools, data, and workflows, building intelligence, not just interfaces. Designed to surface organisational knowledge, automate complex work, and support decision-making at scale.

How we help

Set business logic, permissions & guardrails

Integrate tools like Slack, CRM & marketing stack
Observe patterns & gaps with AI usage

"Having the &above team embedded meant we moved at a pace that would have been impossible otherwise. They became part of us - not a vendor."
